00:01We packed a hamper as well, so I hope Elaine likes vegetarian.
00:04Oh, she does, yeah.
00:06And Robbie, tell me about your mum.
00:07We want you to know that we're going to pitch in and make her feel welcome.
00:10Look, I know today is a really good idea,
00:13but it's just that mum's been in the home for so long, it's just...
00:16Hey, it's going to be fine.
00:19You can both get out now. I've had enough babysitting for one day.
00:22Oh, my goodness.
00:23Go on, get out. Go and find something else to stick your nose into.
00:26Dad, just calm down. It's just not necessary.
00:28I will decide what is necessary, because I can look after myself.
00:31Now, get out! Go on, get out of here! Go!
00:44You know we belong together
00:48You and I forever and ever
00:52No matter where you are
00:56You're my guiding star
00:59You're my guiding star
01:01Hold me in your arms
01:03Don't let me go
01:06I want to stay forever
01:09Closer each day
01:12Home and away
01:33Love, are you sure he's all right? You know, I've been living in the house right here.
01:38Yeah, of course. He just gets a bit frustrated sometimes. He doesn't like to be looked after.
01:42You're not taking on too much.
01:43No, guys, it's fine. Rachel said there'd be a few teething problems, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
01:48Go on, Vej.
01:49Yeah, well, losing up with a pile of pancakes is one thing, but you know, flying off the handle of
01:53you is something completely different.
01:55Honestly, it's fine. In a couple of days you would have adjusted and everything's going to be back to normal.
01:59Well, as long as you promise you'll give us a shout if you need us, eh?
02:01Thank you. That's very sweet of you, but I'm sure I'm not going to need it.
02:04Anyway, we should get you home. Say bye to everyone. Bye!
02:06Hi!
02:08Colleen, what's wrong? Where's Dan?
02:10Oh, at home. Ollie, you mustn't go back there. Not by yourself.
02:12Why not? He's lost control. What has he done?
02:16I'm afraid that Dan got a little upset.
02:24Hey!
02:25What happened?
02:26Oh, I tripped and fell against a table and sent everything falling. I can't believe how much of a klutz
02:32I am.
02:33Um, Vej, why don't you go and watch some telly, eh? Good boy.
02:36Um, does this have anything to do with you yelling at Colleen and Barry before because I just bumped into
02:42them?
02:42What? I didn't yell at them.
02:43Well, Colleen seems to think that you did.
02:46Well, that is typical Colleen, isn't it? Whipping up a storm in a tea...
02:49Well, Barry gave me the same story, that you verbally attacked them.
02:53Well, I didn't attack them. They're blowing us a bit out of proportion.
02:57Well, Dan.
02:59Vej, I miss you so much, little buddy.
03:02Dan.
03:03Don't you worry, Daddy is home for good.
03:04Hey, do you want to go and play, Taz?
03:06Let's go.
03:07Go, go, go.
03:17You okay, Mum?
03:18Yes, I'm fine.
03:20Oh, look! A picnic!
03:22Hey, guys!
03:23How are ya?
03:24Hello!
03:25Hello.
03:25Hello.
03:26I'm Elaine.
03:27Oh, I'm Tasha.
03:28Nice to meet you.
03:30And this is Robbie.
03:31Hey.
03:32Delighted.
03:33Oh, doesn't that look beautiful?
03:34Oh.
03:36And who's this handsome young man?
03:38This is, um, Kim.
03:39Mum, we drove here in his car.
03:41Did we?
03:42Oh, isn't that lovely?
03:43Great spot, isn't it?
03:44Yes.
03:45Yes, it's just like one we used to come to when Rachel was a girl.
03:49Uh, Mum, we can go exploring later if you like.
03:51Why don't you, um, come and have a seat?
03:54Right.
03:55Oh, shouldn't you be home studying for your medical exam?
03:58Your father's not going to be very happy.
04:00I'm not at medical school anymore, Mum.
04:01I'm a doctor now.
04:03You are?
04:03Mm-hmm.
04:04Does your father know?
04:05Who is your father?
04:07Rachel says you're a great artist.
04:08Elaine, do you ever get out and paint the bush?
04:10Oh, yes.
04:11I love sketching outdoors.
04:13You know, I've always wondered how you catch light in a painting.
04:17Yeah, well, it's quite a challenge.
04:18It's all about a conference.
04:20Hiya.
04:23God, I hope she's going to be okay.
04:26Hey, relax.
04:26It's like Robbie and Cash have her entertain.
04:29Yeah, but her thoughts and moods change so quickly.
04:32I'm just, I'm worried we're keeping her out of her normal environment, you know?
04:36Oh, she looks okay to me.
04:38Yeah, I just hope I'm going to be.
04:40Slow and gun it!
04:42Oh, nice one. Here, have a go at this one.
04:44Dan, can I just talk to you for a moment?
04:47Yeah, I'll be back in a sec, pal.
04:49Oh!
04:53What's up?
04:54Dan, I don't want you telling Vijay that you're going to be around for good.
04:59Oh, I just got a little bit excited.
05:01You're believing, Sarah, it's not fair on him.
05:03Yeah, you're right.
05:04I guess I missed Ryan and not knowing if you're going to see him again.
05:08I got a bit carried away when I saw Vijay.
05:10Is that what happened before with Barry and Colleen?
05:13You got a bit carried away?
05:16Well, maybe a little bit.
05:17And that's why you broke some things in the kitchen?
05:20No.
05:20Because remember what Rachel said?
05:22Your reactions and moods, you know, they may be a little skewer for a while.
05:25That's got nothing to do with it.
05:27I mean, the table was an accident.
05:29And Colleen and Barry, I just, I wanted some quiet time to myself.
05:33Okay?
05:35Leah, I don't want people fussing over me.
05:37Okay?
05:37I will say sorry to Colleen, but you don't have to send her over here to babysit me.
05:41I'm fine.
05:42Well, I can't help worrying about you.
05:44You just had a terrible upset.
05:45Leah, I'm telling you not to.
05:47I'm totally fine.
05:50Better get back to the big race.
05:56Robbie's mum said she has this little bonnet for the baby if it's a girl.
05:59Aww.
06:00Hey Rob, do you want some chocolate cake?
06:02Yeah.
06:03I'll have some.
06:04Okay.
06:04You can have the biggest piece.
06:06Thanks.
06:08Elaine, did you want some cake as well?
06:11I'm sorry, are you up?
06:12Um, oh, I'm Tasha.
06:15Um, I'm the one that's having a baby.
06:17Are you?
06:18Oh, what a special time.
06:20Do you know how lucky you are?
06:21Some women hate pregnancy, but I loved every single minute.
06:25What, even the morning sickness part, Mum?
06:27Well, the only problem I had was strange cravings.
06:30When I was pregnant with Bradley, all I wanted was chocolate.
06:34Sounds familiar.
06:36I think he's got a blood nose.
06:38Are you okay?
06:39Yeah.
06:39Oh, what?
06:40Well, just here.
06:40Put that there.
06:41If you just lean forward.
06:43Yep.
06:43Just finish that soft end part of your nose.
06:46What happened, Rob?
06:47You try something out of her.
06:48You like that?
06:49Yeah.
06:49Is she okay?
06:50Those bits are fairly common during pregnancies.
06:53Yeah.
06:53Now I get you to see a doctor.
06:54Oh, we got one.
06:55I don't know about that.
06:56Okay.
06:57Mum?
06:58Mum?
07:00What's up?
07:01Mum?
07:02Elaine!
07:03Mum, where are you?
07:10Mum, it's Rachel!
07:12Where are you?
07:14This is a terrible idea.
07:16Why did we take her out of the home?
07:17This is exactly what I was afraid of.
07:19Right, she can't have gone far.
07:21She's not out there either.
07:22She's not even at the car park.
07:23Do you think it's worth going for a drive along the road?
07:25No, no.
07:26Look, she's been going on about the creek all morning.
07:27Why don't we just check there?
07:28Well, there's a track that runs along the embankment here.
07:30So if you guys want to go north, we'll go south.
07:32Okay, I'll stay here in case she comes back.
07:34No worries.
07:40Hey, did BJ go down for his nap okay?
07:42Eventually, once I promised he could play racing cars again later.
07:45Sorry if I revved him up too much.
07:47No, that's okay.
07:47Haven't seen him have that much fun in ages.
07:50So what are you doing?
07:52I'm just changing the sheets on your bed.
07:54The ones on there are ripped.
07:55I hadn't just noticed it.
07:57Well, why bother?
07:57That just makes too much housework.
07:59Oh, we can't sleep with Rick's sheets.
08:01He'll just tear again.
08:02Well, maybe I'll just have to sleep somewhere else.
08:04I mean, you don't want to be alone in that big bed, do you?
08:06Dan, stop.
08:07What?
08:07All I'm saying is I can keep you warm tonight.
08:09Is that a good idea or a good idea?
08:13Dan, that's a crazy idea.
08:16Spoil sport.
08:18Dan, we're not going to share a bed.
08:19Do you understand?
08:20It's all right if you're going to be like that about it.
08:23I'm just going to put these on your bed, then I'm going to have a shower.
08:25Are you going to be okay?
08:26Yeah, of course.
08:29I've been holding the chair without it and that's it.
08:30All right.
08:31I'll get this.
08:33I'll get this.
08:34Mom?
08:35Elaine.
08:37Mom, where are you?
08:39Can you hear me?
08:41Elaine!
08:42Mom, if you can hear me, say something!
08:44Elaine!
08:45Rachel, Rachel.
08:46Ooh.
08:49Thank God.
08:53Mum?
08:55Rachel, where are you at?
08:59Oh, it's Kim. Yeah, we found her.
09:01This is my daughter I was telling you about.
09:02The one who never comes to visit her poor old mum.
09:05Hello, I'm Rachel. This is Kim.
09:08And this is Doris.
09:10Doris.
09:10Lovely to meet you, dear.
09:12And you.
09:14Mum, we should probably go.
09:16Oh, no, don't go yet.
09:18Please, I've never had any visitors.
09:20Do you live alone here, Doris?
09:22Or is there someone who looks after you?
09:24What's going on here, Grandma?
09:25Oh, Charlie.
09:26Come and join us.
09:27We've got some lovely visitors.
09:30Hello, I'm Rachel.
09:31This is my mum.
09:32She managed to find her way here somehow.
09:34Hello.
09:35So now you've found her, you can go.
09:38Time to come inside now, Grandma.
09:40Okay. Come on.
09:42It was good to meet you all.
09:45If ever you're passing...
09:48Just call in.
09:50Hey, hey, hey, are you okay, Dad?
09:51She's fine, she's fine. Just go.
09:59Not just it.
10:04Cute outfit.
10:05Come here, you gorgeous.
10:06Don't jump.
10:06What? What's the matter?
10:07Dan. Dan.
10:08Dan, I'm just trying to get some clean clothes.
10:10All right, all right.
10:11Let me help you.
10:12No, I could do it myself, Dan.
10:13Dan, Dan.
10:15Dan.
10:15Dan!
10:17Did I interrupt you something?
10:19Well, at your time, you could use a little bit of work, Sal.
10:23Here.
10:26Are you okay?
10:27No.
10:28I can't.
10:28I can't do it, Sal.
10:29I thought I could do it, but I can't do it on my own.
10:33I'm...
10:40Hey.
10:41Are you all right?
10:42Yeah, I'm just glad we found Elaine.
10:46You've got so many young friends, sweetheart.
10:49Why haven't you introduced us before?
10:50I guess I was just waiting for the right time, Mum.
10:54Elaine, did you want to help us clean up?
10:56Yes, of course.
10:57Oh, I saved you some cake as well, if you like.
11:00Lovely.
11:03Hey.
11:09How you doing?
11:11I can't tell you how scared I was before.
11:14I never want to go through anything like that ever again.
11:16Yeah, I know.
11:17And listen, sorry if I've misjudged how tricky this was going to be.
11:20I guess you're right about not taking your mum out of the harm.
11:22Well, no, I think she actually had a really good time today.
11:25I'm sorry I was all freaked out, but seeing that everything worked out okay, I did think
11:28it was a good thing to do today.
11:33Hey, was it just me, or did you think that Doris looked really unwell?
11:37Yeah, she wasn't the healthiest person I've seen.
11:39Yeah, living alone in that shack with just her grandson looking after her.
11:43Do you want to go back and give her a check-up?
11:45Would you mind?
11:46We can take Mum home for this.
11:47Yeah, that's fine.
11:49Can't believe that hospital is going to let you slip through their fingers.
11:54It's like I'm living with two people.
11:56One minute he's the old dad, and then he just turns into this total stranger.
12:00I just don't know what to do.
12:01I don't know how to act around him.
12:02Well, Rachel did say there might be problems.
12:04I just didn't think he'd be this pronounced.
12:06I just don't know how to handle him.
12:08You know what I think?
12:08I think you need a break.
12:09I'm going to take him off your hands.
12:10No, Sam, you don't need to do that.
12:12I'm fine.
12:12I just lost it a bit before.
12:14Yeah, which is exactly why you need some time to yourself.
12:16I'm going to take him out for a walk and a coffee.
12:18I probably just need to rest.
12:20Are you kidding?
12:21Your coffee sounds way better than being treated like an invalid.
12:23Well, good.
12:24If you like going now.
12:25Sounds good to me.
12:25Are you coming with us?
12:26Oh, I might wait once Vijay wakes up.
12:29Oh, OK.
12:30Well, and don't worry.
12:30I'll have a quick word to Colleen, and I'll apologise while I'm there, OK?
12:33I'll give you a call if we're going to be late.
12:52What's going on?
12:53What are you doing here?
12:55Look, I noticed before that your grandmother seemed a little unwell.
12:58No, no, she's fine.
12:59Are you sure about that?
13:01How long has it been since you've seen a doctor?
13:03What's it to you?
13:05Well, I'm a doctor, and I'd like to give her a check-up, if that's all right.
13:08I think she needs one.
13:10Look, don't worry.
13:10We're not going to be here long, I promise.
13:11She just wants to check your gran's OK, mate.
13:14That's all.
13:35Grandma?
13:41Oh, hello again, dear.
13:43Did you leave something?
13:44No, Grandma.
13:45This lady's a doctor.
13:46She's going to see if you're all right.
13:47Hello again, Doris.
13:49Look, I just wanted to give you a quick check-up.
13:51I noticed you had that nasty cough earlier.
13:52It's OK.
13:53I'm here.
13:55I'm going to have a listen to your chest.
13:57If you lean forward, I want you to take some deep breaths for me, OK?
14:00That's the way.
14:03Oh.
14:12You can lean back now, Doris.
14:16OK, your chest is very rattly, and I think you've got a temperature.
14:19You may have contracted a very nasty chest infection.
14:22I've been doing everything I can to look after her.
14:24That's right.
14:25I'm sure you have, Charlie.
14:26But I think it's best that we get to a hospital for treatment.
14:28No, no.
14:29She can't do that.
14:30She doesn't like hospitals.
14:31I can understand that.
14:32Maybe you can give her a prescription.
14:33It's not as simple as that.
14:35But Doris's immune system is a lot weaker than yours or mine.
14:38She doesn't need professional care.
14:40Roger, we'll take the care of your grandma.
14:41You don't need to worry.
14:42That's what they said last time.
14:45Who said that to you?
14:46The doctors who put Grandpa in hospital.
14:50They just kept feeding him drugs until he didn't know where he was, and then he just didn't
14:58wake up.
14:58I'm so sorry, Charlie, but nothing like that's going to happen this time.
15:02I promise that we will keep you involved every step of the way.
15:05When your grand comes, Sam, things will be better for both of you.
15:08She won't be in pain anymore.
15:15Okay.
15:26Must be so hard for Rachel.
15:28It's almost like she's the mum and the mum's like a child.
15:31Yeah.
15:34Are you sure you're okay?
15:36Yeah, I'm just a bit tired from all that yelling and walking, that's all.
15:40So if something was wrong, you'd tell me, wouldn't you?
15:42Of course.
15:46Rob, what is it?
15:48Come on, I know something's wrong.
15:50You've been acting distant all day.
15:52Hey, whatever it is, you can tell me, okay?
15:56It's about the baby.
15:58Everyone's so excited for us, but for me, it's like, it doesn't matter how hard I try,
16:03I'm just not feeling what I want to feel for the baby.
16:06I thought when I saw the ultrasound, the bomb would kick in.
16:08I thought I'd start feeling like a real dad.
16:11But I don't.
16:14I'm sorry.
16:16Did you hate me?
16:18Hey.
16:19No, I could never hate you.
16:21I love you.
16:24Do you think what I just said is going to be a problem?
16:27Well, it doesn't have to be.
16:28You know, we both knew that this was going to be hard, especially for you.
16:33I mean, I've heard that even biological fathers sometimes feel the same way that you are now.
16:39What if it doesn't change?
16:41I want to be a good father and I want to love our baby, but I'm scared maybe I won't.
16:47I think it's natural for you to have these thoughts.
16:49You know, it doesn't mean that that's the way it's going to be.
16:53And, you know, of course I want you to think of the baby as your own, but I think you've
16:57just got to give it time, you know?
17:02You are the most amazing woman I have ever met.
17:05I'm just glad that you told me how you feel.
17:07You never have to hold anything like that inside, especially not about our baby, okay?
17:12As long as we love each other, this baby's got the first chance to come home for it, okay?
17:28So how long have you and your gran lived on your own for?
17:31A few years, since I was 16.
17:34Oh, and that was when your grandpa died?
17:36Yeah.
17:38Well, what about your parents? They're not around?
17:40No, no.
17:41My grandparents brought me up.
17:44Well, there's no one else to help you look after your gran.
17:48Oh, you should be proud of yourself, mate.
17:50No, for taking such good care of her.
17:52If she looked after me, it was my turn to look after her.
17:55Yeah, but it can't be easy.
17:57She obviously relies on you.
17:58You should give yourself some credit.
18:02How is she?
18:02She's going to be fine.
18:03They're just going to keep her in for a little bit longer just to give her some antibiotics and some
18:06pain relief.
18:10I don't know what to say.
18:11Hey, I promise I'll never let her get this sick again.
18:14Well, she was in very good health for her age, and I bet that has something to do with how
18:18well you take care of her.
18:20So, can I go in and see her?
18:22Well, in a bit. We'll just let her settle in first.
18:24Am I allowed to stay with her tonight?
18:26Well, that's not necessary, Charlie. She's in really good hands here.
18:28I know that, but I don't like to stay at home by myself, so...
18:33Well, why don't you have dinner with us tonight?
18:36No, I couldn't do that.
18:38Oh, come on, mate. We don't bite. You need a break anyway.
18:41Are you sure?
18:42Absolutely.
18:44Okay, then. Thanks.
18:46That's well.
18:47So, how are things going home?
18:49Oh, really good. Leah and I are closer than ever. It's like nothing's changed.
18:54Even though you are separate?
18:56Well, I'll let you in on a little secret. I think the big freeze is finally over.
19:01There were good reasons why the two of you wanted to end the relationship, though, weren't there?
19:06Wait, what are you saying?
19:08Oh, no, it's just that things aren't really the way they used to be at all, are they?
19:12And maybe you should start making plans for the future instead of holding on to the past.
19:17I mean, it can't help to keep the door open to a new relationship, can it?
19:21Thank you, aren't I?
19:22Yeah.
19:23Oh! What the hell are you doing?
19:25Baker, sorry, mate.
19:25Well, sorry's not good enough.
19:27Mate, come here.
19:29What the hell is going on here?
19:31In action and honest, I didn't mean it.
19:35Sorry. Sorry.
19:49Sorry, you must think I'm some kind of loony.
19:51No, of course I don't.
19:53You know, I don't even know why I lose it.
19:56I just snap and I'm sick and tired of it.
19:59You know, all I seem to do is apologise to people for the way that I've acted.
20:02Hey, don't be so hard on yourself.
20:06I've been through a rough time and you know what Rachel said,
20:09it is going to take you a bit of time to recover from what's happened to you.
20:13I just hope I don't lose all my friends in the meantime.
20:15Well, it's not going to happen.
20:16You've got so many people around you that want to help you get through this
20:20and maybe you just have to let them help you a bit more.
20:24Yeah, I know. I just...
20:25I don't want people fussing over me.
20:27I'm fine looking after myself.
20:31Can I tell you something?
20:34When I lost Flynn, I was so determined to prove that I didn't need any help
20:37and what I didn't realise was that
20:40that's actually when I needed my friends around me the most.
20:44Are you trying to tell me something?
20:46Well, friends like you, Dan.
20:49I don't know how I would have got through all of that without you.
20:53Knowing that you were there to lean on it, it meant everything to me.
20:57We've been through a lot together, you and I, haven't we?
20:59Oh, you sure have.
21:05Next week, we'll begin with a kiss
21:08between a man and his wife's best friend.
21:11What?
21:11These are friendships that will never be the same again.
21:14He just ran off. I couldn't catch him.
21:16What if they don't find him in time? What if...
21:18A new friend's life hangs in the balance.
21:20If we don't do something, we're going to lose it.
21:22And an old friend will be all alone
21:24when he needs help the most.
21:26While friends are in chaos,
21:29will their worst enemy return?
21:31Next week on Home and Away.
